Abstract
A method, a device and a signal enabling automatic washouts in HAV contents. Washout related information is added to a signal representing a HAV content so that a HAV rendering device may adapt the washout to its physical limitations defined by the device capabilities as well as the user preferences. Different types of washouts are proposed. The HAV content signal comprises a first information representative of a haptic washout effect and an optional second information representative of the parameters required for the haptic washout effect. The method comprises performing a first haptic effect, computing the haptic washout effect according to device capabilities, user preferences, type of washout obtained from washout flags and optional washout parameters, and performing the haptic washout effect.
